The blockbuster trade of Boston Celtics star guard Jaylen Brown was a painful one for sports fans around Boston, but another team in town has offered a coincidental silver lining to hurting fans — the Boston Red Sox<\/a> haven\u2019t stopped winning since.<\/p>\n

At 6:13 p.m. ET on July 1, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania broke the news that Brown was being dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers\u00a0in a deal that sent Paul George and picks back to the Celtics. At that point, the Red Sox were in a rut. Their loss to the Washington Nationals<\/a> earlier in the day had put the team 11 games under .500, sitting in last place in the American League East.<\/p>\n

Boston had the day off on July 2 before getting back underway on a road swing that would take them through the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

And on that road trip, the Red Sox were red-hot. They swept the Los Angeles Angels<\/a>, Chicago White Sox<\/a> and New York Mets<\/a> in rapid succession, with a plus-34 run differential across their nine-game win streak. The undefeated run is tied for the third-longest\u00a0in MLB this season.<\/p>\n

DraftKings and NESN\u2019s Lucy Burdge pointed out the coincidental tie-in between Brown\u2019s departure and the Red Sox\u2019s resurgence.<\/p>\n

The American League-leading play of the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> means that even with Boston\u2019s surging record (in addition to the win streak, Boston has boasted a 14-2 mark since June 25) the Red Sox still sit 10 games back in the AL East. But Boston has quickly made up ground in the wild-card picture — they\u2019re just a half-game back of the final spot — and you\u2019d be hard pressed to find a team leaving the All-Star break with more momentum.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the Red Sox can claim to be something of specialists at pre-All Star win streaks. Per Elias Sports Bureau, Boston is the first team in MLB history to enter the All-Star break on a win streak of nine or more in consecutive seasons — in 2025, it entered on a 10-game win streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The blockbuster trade of Boston Celtics star guard Jaylen Brown was a painful one for sports fans around…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":801990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[3959,49,48,462,459,475,82],"class_list":["post-801989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-nba","tag-new-york-mets","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=801989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/801989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/801990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=801989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=801989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
